Provincial Family Planning Association: Improving service quality and communication

The Provincial Family Planning Association promotes its role and responsibility in taking care of reproductive health for the people. Since then, people have gradually changed their behavior, learned how to take care of their own reproductive health, and contributed to the implementation of the Vietnam Population Strategy to 2030 in the province.

Communication activities on reproductive health and family planning in communes of the Provincial Family Planning Association always receive widespread participation from the people.

With a total of 33 branches and 1,000 members, the Provincial Family Planning Association's main task is to help members improve their understanding through propaganda work, widely disseminate knowledge, and provide consulting services on population, reproductive health, and family planning. The Association's target audience is adolescents and young people, especially the poor in remote, isolated, and disadvantaged areas.

Every year, the Association coordinates with units in the province to organize population and family planning campaigns in remote communes and areas with high birth rates to communicate and advise women who need to apply contraceptive methods; at the same time, gynecological examinations are conducted to detect reproductive tract infections in women.

Mobile medical examinations for women in mountainous, border and ethnic minority areas always attract the attention of women. In the first 6 months of 2025, 1,000 women in communes attended communication sessions providing friendly mobile services; 6,000 condoms were distributed, helping many families implement effective family planning measures; 1,461 women were examined, detected and treated gynecological diseases on-site for free, and 34 IUDs were inserted.

The Provincial Family Planning Association provides in-depth consultation on reproductive health and family planning for ethnic minority women in Duong Hoa commune.

Ms. Tang Nhi Mui (Quang Tan commune) shared: “Participating in the mobile communication sessions of the Family Planning Association has helped me learn how to take care of my reproductive health. The doctors and nurses are very enthusiastic and give specific advice on safe contraceptive methods to avoid unwanted pregnancies, so I feel very secure.”

Dr. Nguyen Thi Hau, President of the Provincial Family Planning Association, said: In order for communication sessions on reproductive health care, family planning, and gender equality to be highly effective, the Association organizes group discussions and distributes leaflets for people to exchange missing knowledge; provides instructions on the use of contraceptive methods, safe motherhood, health care, and nutrition for children; conducts screening for reproductive health diseases, and provides free on-site treatment for women in communes.

The Association also coordinates with departments, branches, sectors, and social organizations to provide voluntary services. Activities to improve the quality of health care services for women at the Association's Family Planning Service Counseling Center for Reproductive Health Care are focused on. In the first 6 months of 2025, the Center received 3,000 customers for gynecological services, examination and treatment; 1,400 cases of sexually transmitted diseases came for treatment; organized 20 communication sessions attracting more than 300 participants. The Center is increasingly striving to improve the quality of reproductive support services, infertility counseling, and is currently a trusted address for many customers.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Hau added: In the coming time, the Association will continue to promote communication activities to further raise people's awareness of population and family planning, linking the dissemination of population policies with the socio-economic development of the province; promote the use of contraceptive methods on the basis of each family's voluntary use; strengthen communication, education and support families to raise awareness and skills in raising children.
